Outlook (Exchange) issues today.
by Harrington, Michael P 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

A power outage has cause some users to lose access to Exchange (Outlook) and other services. No word yet on when it will return. My outlook is working but there seem to be several Staff/Faculty that are affected. I would imagine it will be resolved within a few hours. Details: http://www.itap.purdue.edu/newsroom/detail.cfm?newsId=2627 "Due to recent power outages affecting the central part of campus, several IT services are operating at diminished availability, including Exchange 2007, myPurdue, Blackboard Learn, Banner and SAP, as well as the community clusters." -Mike ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu

Engineering Equipment Data Base
by Farmus, Cristina D 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Good afternoon, Many of you are asking me to find out if a certain piece of equipment is available at Purdue so you can use it for a limited time without having to purchase it. After several requests, I worked with Property Accounting and I obtained a list of current equipment available in all Engineering Schools, which includes responsible PI. It is saved on the ChE intranet at https://engineering.purdue.edu/Intranet/Groups/Schools/ChE/EngineeringEquip…. Anyone with a career account can access it. Property Accounting is sending me updated reports every month and they are fine with sharing this information with Purdue employees. Once you have found what you needed, it is fine to contact the PI via email, asking for permission to use the equipment. If you cannot find what you are need on this list, please let me know and I can ask for the entire Purdue equipment data base to be searched. Changes to this data base can be made by submitting to Property Accounting (through our Business Office) an ECS form, saved at the same location.
